Yokohama

Yokohama is also a beautiful place in Japan not very far from Tokyo. I went to Minato Mirai. It is on the sea side. But there are no beaches. All are taken up by straight concrete reclaimed lands.

We saw big ships. The Hikawa Maru was a hospital ship which survived the second world war. It used to sail to Seattle, US. We can see the Yokohama Bay bridge. There is also a beautiful China town nearby.

But the most remarkable is the Landmark Tower having the highest observatory of Japan at its 69th floor. The elevator to the observatory has been recorded in the Guiness World Record. It is the fastest lift, about 45 Km/hr. We reach the top in just few seconds!
